Talk to his doctor for more information on his health. And ... Type 1 has several definitions these days ... if his diabetes developed when he was a child, it is always called Type 1 ... if he developed diabetes as an adult (which he did from what I read in your answer), and he must take insulin, then a lot of doctors are now calling that Type 1 also.
